Tyres

Dear Stuart, my wife and I want to thank you so much – My wife took her car to the main Ford dealer for a service – it came out with a list of jobs that they said was needed and would cost in the region of £600 !!! once we picked our jaws off the ground we decided to see if Pitstop could do it for less. After a thorough inspection your guys informed us that none of the jobs actually needed to be done – thus a saving of £600. Quite unbelievable!!! what integrity by the Pitstop team. Suffice to say i will always continue to recommend Pitstop.

The law states that your vehicle is fitted with the correct type and size of tyre for the vehicle you are driving. Laws are in place to govern all aspects of your tyres condition; most important is the minimum tread depth and your families safety when driving with children. The legal limit for the minimum depth of the tread is 1.6 mm across the central ¾ of the tread going around the complete circumference of the tyre.

As your tyres are the only point of contact the vehicle has with the road it is vitally important that you select the right tyre for your vehicle and for the purpose it is being used. Here at Pit-Stop we think motorists must get into the habit of checking all four tyres and the spare every 2 weeks for pressures and general condition.

As vehicle technology has advanced over the years – tyres must cope with heavier faster cars with more advanced braking systems. Other parts of the world have extreme winters. These cold or winter tyres have been specially developed over many years and work best in temperatures under 7 degrees Celsius. They look like normal tyres but perform differently.
